Jenny O'Connor is a Mary Kay consultant. She hosted a Mary Kay party where 10% of her sales went to Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. and then 10% of any sale for a month after, that had the key name P.A.N.S. went to Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. She then turned it into a never-ending 10% contribution to Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. every time someone ordered from her and used the code PANS. Thank you so much Jenny O'Connor for your generosity.

In November, 2014, Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. received a grant of $2,000 from Hope Lutheran Church. In 2013, Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. had applied for the same grant but did not receive it. However, several members of the congregation donated to Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. after Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. delivered a speech to the church. Those congregation members gave a total of $300 in donations.

McClain, Smith, and Wenz P.C. certified public accountants have generously given their time and expertise to help Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. through the difficult process of starting a non-profit organization. They helped tremendously with completing and filling out all of the paperwork required to receive the state of Michigan non-profit status as well as the federal 501 (c)(3) status. They have supported Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. from the very beginning and we would not be where we are today without them.

Cure Type 1 Diabetes is a wonderful non-profit organization that is raising money to cure type 1 diabetes, another autoimmune disorder. Cure Type 1 Diabetes and Empowered Hands for P.A.N.S. have teamed up several times for fundraising efforts and have supported each other along the way.
